In a moment of weakness I picked this thing up (luckily not much money was involved) and I can report that the box art may be the most inaccurate rendition of what's inside, ever!
Granted there's a picture of the finished model on the sides but I would love to know what the artist thought they were supposed to be painting.... the engine's wrong, the wheels are wrong, the grill is wrong etc etc and why is a five year old driving on sand in full drag race protective clothing? (the driver can't be much more than five year's old if he looks that small in a tiny car).
The kit is pretty awful as a finished piece but, if you can find one cheap enough - £5 should be the absolute max, then there are some useable parts in the box; some very nice Red Ram valve covers, a frame that's lowered at both ends, the body is pretty good and so on.
Let the buyer beware!
